Sub 24 hours. Just a quick overnight trip to get out and ride/camp. The term is used by Grant Petersen of BQ. Another term used by Alastair Humphreys is micro adventure. It's a counter to the time and planning people sometimes need to do a longer bike trip.

I don't know if a couple can have a lasting relationship when one puts the panniers on the front of the bike, the other puts panniers on the rear. I see opportunities for unresolvable differences in culture and never ending arguments <insert chuckle here>.
Hope the trip went well.

I did not notice this earlier, but on your orange bike your pump is not parallel with the top tube. I assume you lack a pump peg on that bike. Same on my road bike, but I strap the pump to the top tube a few inches behind the head tube so that the pump is horizontal to the top tube, I am less likely to bump it that way and also the Velcro keeps it attached when I bump it.

For me it fits in with the whole bars, grips thing, and the fact that you're a hippy dippy musician (aren't you the guitarist dude? Just kidding, but honestly I think it looks kinda neat and different, and does fit in with the aesthetic of the bike.
Personally I got tired decades ago of my damn zefal pump falling off during bumpy descents, getting run over by cars, so when I finally packed in the frame pump, I put my leyzene or whatever it is in a pannier or that secure mount on a water bottle mount area

I also have a little square of inner tube rubber between the headtube and pump to protect the paint, but it is a fairly new bike, in a few years I won't worry about the paint that much any more.

Its an 81 912 that i did a 650b conversion on with tektro 559 brakes. I have a new sturdier rack coming today, a tubus. I decided to get the rack after trying this out. I love the front loading. It can be a chore if its unbalanced and when i do a grocery run it usually is a little, but balanced i almost feel like no load. Quick, smooth steering and the rack stiffens up the fork making it actually tour worthy. I use a big minnehaha seat bag, actually called a medium, and two large brooks rear panniers on the front. When going solo i can fit my 1 person big agnes in a pannier as well as my sleeping bag. Ill take a pick when i get the new rack on.

My Road Morph G goes in my left front Ortlieb pannier. I’d post a link, but I’m hesitant to do so.

But a pannier makes sense too, less theft prone and less likely to get a lot of road dust in the pump innards. I used a pannier on a couple trips.

When touring, my Road Morph G or Lezyne Micro Floor Drive is in a bracket attached to the frame and shares the bolts used for a bottle cage, but I do have a long Zefal along my top tube on my rando bike and road bike.
